The concentration week From Commutators to BCP Operators forms one of the activities in the 2015 installment of the
Workshop in Analysis and Probability
which takes place every summer at Texas A&M University in
College Station,
Texas. The meeting will focus on the areas of mathematics developed by
Carl Pearcy, who is turning 80 this year, and aims
to promote connections between several different themes in operator theory which have been driving recent progress in the subject.
Topics will include quasidiagonality, commutators of operators, and invariant subspaces.

The concentration week will be followed by SUMIRFAS,
which runs from July 31 to August 2.

The Workshop is supported in part by grants from the National Science Foundation. Minorities, women,
graduate students, and young researchers are especially encouraged to attend.
